Beautiful building in Leeds

Good music venues are in abundance in Leeds. Depending on the day of the week, you'll find excellent at Belgrave Music Hall, Hifi, Distrikt Holbeck Underground Ballroom and Beaverworks. 

For those seeking refreshment, Northern Monk Brewery offers a good tipple, while Friends of Ham caters for those who need a quiet date spot. Temple Coffee & Donuts, around the corner from the studios also comes highly recommended for its namesakes.

If you're in need of some visual inspiration, one of Leeds' finest architectural highlights is the Leeds Corn Exchange with its domed wooden roof resembling the hull of a boat.

Fans of the great outdoors should head to Willow Field, a five-minute walk from the studios, or Roundhay park — one of the biggest city parks in Europe.

Getting here and access

what3words location: ///sofa.drama.global (Original Entrance)
what3words location: ///veal.rift.judges (Extension Entrance)

We're located just five minutes' walk from Cardigan Fields. 

Driving? We have 12 parking spaces available outside the front of the building. If you're coming by public transport, buses stop nearby on Kirstall Rd.

Are there parking spaces at the Leeds studios?

Yes, there are plenty, but you will need to register your vehicle before your session to avoid being issued a fine by the car park owner. Register your vehicle details on the day of your session.

How much of my time will the program take each week?

Apprenticeship training should be delivered during the apprentices’ working hours. All apprentices must be allocated 20% of their paid working hours for “off-the-job training”.That can be spread in any way across your working week and does not need to be taken as a solid chunk. It will likely vary week to week according to the specific course you are on and what is being delivered and its method of delivery each week. 

Please see the “Delivery method” section of each cohort to get a better idea of how much

What if I decide to leave halfway through the program?

Our recruitment process will be focused on ensuring that we get people who are truly committed to their course. 

In the first instance, we will do everything we can to support the apprentice to remain on the program.

In exceptional circumstances, such as long-term illness or in some cases personal challenges, we can apply a ‘break in learning’ to allow the apprentice some time away from their learning.

What are the benefits to the Apprentice?

  • Achieve a nationally recognised qualification
  • Develop, reinforce and enhance their skills, knowledge and behaviours to maximise their potential
  • Build their confidence
  • Earn as they learn. Pirate fund their apprenticeship training.

Why are there only 10 spaces available?

Each apprenticeship costs either £5,000 or £9,000 and Pirate has managed to secure £70,000 of external funding to provision this training programme this year. We also have to ensure we have the internal resources to be able to support these apprenticeships.

If I don’t get through this time, will there be another opportunity in the future?

Potentially. This is the first time Pirate is offering something like this and if all goes well we will want to continue to offer apprenticeships.
